"My unit cost about $3000.00 CND to build and took about 700 hours".

Now there is a guy with a LOT of spare time on his hands. If you only value your time at , say $20 Per hour, you've got a 8 foot $17,000 pop-up camper :yikes: that sleeps 2-3 people. That price doesn't include the $2,000 worth of tools that you would need either :p .

What's wrong with this picture :confused:  Am I missing something here? :eyecrazy:

Ddi the seller also design the unit?  That can easily triple construction time.  I also don't see pop-up companies knocking themselves out to produce them, so if you want something like this, you either 1) build it yourself, 2) get extremely lucky and find one for sale (by someone else who custom-built it) that also fits your truck (or try to buy a pickup that does fit), or 3) go without.
